I've found yet another spinning obsession: pure tussah silk!The way I spin them is into soft singles. On the left is my latest example, it's called 'purple steel' and has a beautiful lustre.

I had a few small skeins as well and they sold really quickly in my etsy shop.
Another thing I've been spinning (and I have been spinning a lot recently) is a luxurious fibre blend of 70% Merino and 30% Silk. It has all the advantages of a soft merino wool, but at the same time has the elegant drape and gorgeous shine of pure silk.
Here is an example of this fibre blend:

Hello Snowberrylime! your yarn looks delicious! Just wondering if that "steel" yarn was spun from some of the roving I sent in the Magic roving ball swap...the colorway is similar if not. It turned out gorgeous...congrats on making it on the front of etsy.
hope all is well in your life...we just moved, so I can sympathize with your upcoming transition!
